Raw

There's nothing to see
there's nothing to feel
there is nothing left
left to leave

Nothing to plead
no guilt
no silence
no noise
no matter of choice

Remember the dreaming
the promise
the lie
the sign that you told me
to look for inside

I aimed for the stars
the planets
the moon
the further I saw
the tigher I held
I looked at my hand
held onto a saw

you had nothing in mind

Cut loose of the handcuffs
the bondage
the bars
I won't put my ashes
in none of the jars

I faked my attention
the nonsese
the hugs
I found no redemption
in the back of the cars

Watch my eyes, they're on fire
as blue as can be
a burning horizon
as vast as my sea

I look at my efforts
all failed me but one
I tried to forget you
and worked like a charm

Now leave my empire
the castle, the dust
I'll burn in my pyre
and it won't be my last
